700+ organisations in production In production since 2025 Roles, logging, backups

Do your approvals still run on email and Excel? There is a better way.

I build internal software that checks files, routes requests, drives approvals and documents every step so it can be traced. I use AI where it measurably helps.

In production since 2025.

A data portal for a state funding program, built at ISG GmbH. Below is exactly which part of it is mine.

Reference project

Data portal for a state funding program

Situation

The ESF Plus Baden-Württemberg funding period had run a contact-data portal since 2022. It had to be replaced technically without the funding program itself pausing.

My role

I built the replacement at ISG GmbH and moved it into production in 2025. The new application replaced the older portal from the same funding period. ISG operates the portal.

What the system does

Grant recipients upload files by drag and drop. The system handles the rest automatically, from validation through processing to notification.

Result

The portal has been running with personal data since 2025. The platform later became part of a follow-on contract with a total volume of around €500,000.

Starting point

One workflow, analysed and costed.

Before you decide on a project, we look at one concrete workflow. After that you decide on numbers rather than on a hunch.

€1,250

Fixed price, plus VAT.

Duration
A 60 to 90 minute workshop, results within a week
Request the analysis

You get

  • A map of the workflow as it actually runs today
  • Where the time goes, with the effort per case
  • A proposal for what gets automated and what stays manual on purpose
  • An effort estimate with a price range for the build

A fit if a recurring workflow runs on email, Excel and manual handovers, and you want to know whether building something of your own pays off.

If the analysis shows an off-the-shelf tool is enough, that is what the result says. You still end up with a basis for the decision.

Three workflows that cost time every day. All three run on email and Excel.

Files & records

Documents arrive by email and get checked by hand.

Every file is opened, reviewed and passed along.

Data & lists

The same data sits in Excel, in the inbox and in the system.

Someone retypes it and keeps three versions in sync.

Approvals

An approval depends on one person forwarding it.

When that person is away, the case stops.

Which of these costs you the most? That is exactly what the workflow analysis takes apart.
What you can count on
8 years in IT 700+ organisations live Role and permission model Art. 28 GDPR data processing agreement EU AI Act accounted for On-prem or EU cloud

Three areas, one point of contact.

AI automation, custom software, or figuring out what's actually worth doing. One person handles all of it, and builds it, too.

AI Automation

Workflows that run themselves

Voice agents, inquiry triage, automated billing. Recurring tasks run without you, on your infrastructure or in the EU cloud, always with your data.

You do less manual work and keep the same control.
Software Development

Custom-built, when off-the-shelf doesn't fit

I build the application that fits your process, from the first version to production. One platform I built is used by 700+ organisations today.

You get a system that actually fits you.
IT Consulting & EU AI Act

Securely connected. Built EU-compliant.

I work out with you which tools fit, what's worth it, and how to connect AI securely. Data protection and regulatory requirements are built in technically from the start: a role and permission model, logging, encryption, and processing within the EU. Your data protection officer or lawyer handles the legal assessment, I handle the technical implementation.

You can explain your AI to an auditor, too.
Does this fit your situation? Tell me what's going on in 30 seconds.

One person builds it. Your team keeps running it.

The fair question about a one-person supplier is what happens when that person is gone. So the handover is part of the work from the start, not the last step of it.

The source code and documentation are yours

At the end you get the full source code, the technical documentation and every credential. No licence in my name, no dependency on me.

Decisions stay readable

Requirements, architecture decisions, tests and releases are documented as the work goes. Another qualified developer can take the application over from those documents.

Operations are prepared, not improvised

A role and permission model, logging, tested backups and monitoring belong to the project, not to some later phase of it.

Maintenance and support can be agreed separately afterwards, with response times set in the contract. Without that contract your system still runs. That is the whole point of the handover.

Ashna Takal, software developer and IT consultant

You're not talking to an agency. You're talking to me.

I build your software myself, from the first draft to production. You talk directly with me, not a salesperson or a team you'll never meet. And when you don't need custom software at all, I'll tell you that honestly. Sometimes an off-the-shelf tool is the right answer.

I've been doing this for eight years, several of them building software for the public sector. At ISG GmbH I rebuilt the contact-data portal for a state funding program; it replaced the older portal and over 700 organisations now work in it in production. Their staff upload files, the system validates, processes, and notifies automatically. The platform later became part of a follow-on contract with a total volume of around €500,000. Which tool fits you depends on your situation. I look at what's actually running for you and tell you what makes sense. You keep control of your data and processes.

Before the first call

What does a project cost?

It depends on scope. A clearly scoped software component is different from a full application. In the first call, you get a transparent estimate of effort, cost, and the right model. No flat fees, no hidden items.

I'm not sure this is worth it for my company.

That's exactly what the first call is for. We look together at where you're losing time and whether custom software solves it. Not every task needs its own system, and I'll tell you that too.

Do you build individual solutions, or only larger systems?

Both. Often a clearly scoped component is the most sensible starting point, for example a voice system for call handling, or inquiry routing. That brings relief quickly and can be extended later.

How does a collaboration work?

It starts with a free initial call, 30 minutes, no obligation. If that's a fit, you get a written proposal next, covering scope, timeline, and cost. At the end comes the handover. Your team keeps running it after that, with no dependency on me.

Do you work alone or with a team?

I work as an independent developer and integrator, directly with you. You talk directly to the person doing the work. For larger implementations, I work with a fixed network of experienced specialists.

What about data protection and GDPR?

Data protection is part of every solution from the start. Depending on the requirement, I work with on-premise systems, EU cloud services, or vetted SaaS tools. On request, everything stays on your infrastructure or in the EU, with no detour through US services. I document technical and organisational measures under Art. 32 GDPR per project, and we sign a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR. I am based in Denmark, within the EU, so there is no third-country transfer. I'm not a data protection officer; for legal questions, I coordinate with yours.

Do I need to understand technology to work with you?

No. I explain everything so you can make informed decisions without a technical background. In the first call, we talk about your situation, not about technology.

Can you help with the EU AI Act?

Yes, on the technical side. The AI literacy obligation has applied since 2 February 2025; Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 softened it to supporting the development of AI literacy among staff. The Art. 50 transparency obligations have applied since 2 August 2026: an AI voice agent has to disclose that it's AI. Obligations for Annex III high-risk systems only start on 2 December 2027, postponed by that same regulation. I help with technical classification, risk assessment, and documentation. I'm not a lawyer or a data protection officer, but I support your internal DPO or legal advisor.

Let's clarify in a short call whether this makes sense for your situation.

You describe where you stand. I listen and tell you honestly whether and how I can help.
